EA doneert SimCity aan 'One Laptop Per Child' project
EA doneert namelijk aan elke OLPC-laptop de originele SimCity, de welbekende stedenbouw simulatie/game. Volgens EA is SimCity een goed middel om kinderen achter de laptop te krijgen, niet alleen is de game leuk om te spelen maar hij is ook nog eens educatief:
SimCity is entertainment that’s unintentionally educational. Players learn to use limited resources to build and customize their cities. There are choices and consequences, but in the end, it’s a creativity tool that’s only limited by the player’s imagination.The game should prove to be an incredibly effective way of making the laptop relevant, engaging, and fun, particularly for first time players. We are thrilled to be making this contribution to OLPC to help meet their goal of educating the children of the world.
